WILL UNITE. -Owing to the drnuth,
and its etfects on flowers, the Horti-
cultural Society has decided not to hold
a show of its own this tall, but will
unite its efforts with the Heron Oen-
„ tral in its regular fall fair, Sept. 20 21.
ANOTHER DRAYMAN.-Jacob B, cker
has launched into the dray business,
and now drives a tine delivery waggon
turned out, from the workshop of J.
Leslie., There should be no difficulty
rio„S- n finding a drayrnan when one is
' wanted, as this wakes the fifth or
sixth in the business.
WILL MOVE THEM. -The Grand
Trunk having dispensed with fixed
section men at Granton, had no further
use for the dwelling house and section
buildings that stood by the track
there. William Grant has therefore

Loddon road.

umpire put the score at 2 to 2, though
Clinton claimed they- were entitled to
one more goal.
A FINN: HORSE. --It is jest as hard
fot -Sandy lines to keep out of the en-
tire horse business as it would be for
him to do wit pout his meals, and to
Satisfy his desire in this respect he has
just imported a very fine Clydesdale
:;stallion. It was brought out by Mr
-Colquhoun and arrived here on Sat-
urday. It is four years old and will
weigh in the neighborhood of 2200 lbs,
HE IID IT. -A short time ago the
Mayor committed a tramp to jail for
30 days, for attempting to steal a ride
on the bumpers of a train. When
r -committed he vowed that he would
ride a train in that manner to Strat-
ford. His time expired on Monday,
and he *as seen rnaking his way to
Stratford on the bumpers of Conductor
Hun's train, but the conductor did not
know it.
st COINCIDENCE. -On August 17, 1876,
Geo. F. Brickenden left Clinton to
"strike out in the world fot himself,"
going first to St. Marys, and subse-
quently to London, where he settled,

PERMANENT WALKS, - The small
town of Acton has invested in a piece
granolithic walk this summer, and
ss the Free Press of last week says: -"No
¶ore plank sidewalks, is the altnost
universal verdict of ratepayers. Give
..-;us`th8 permanent pavements." The
Y-.imcoe Reformer'also speaks very con-
idently about the granolithic walks in
',that place, of which they have several
miles, and says that under no circum-
stsinees would they think of going back
to board walks.
•'. MONUMENTS -Messrs Seale & Hoov-
= • er, of the Clinton Marble works, are

cnnple to be delivered in Usborne. A
;ety fine Grey Granite monument, to
,:be erected to the memory of the late
" Charles Spooner and wife, has been
,ordered from* the same firm.
IT RAINED, - After a six weeks'
routh, a most copious and acceptable
wet of rain gladdened the earth
nd also the hearts of people in this
locttiiityyon Thursday of last week. It
literally "supplied a long -felt want,"
and was the occasion of some amusing
.experiences. A young lady and gen-
,,'thinlan who had started for the camp
oft•thelake spare, turned in at a farm
*house, remained there till 10.30 and
went en to gimp, getting back to
"tow.tt. next morning, just in time for
breakfast; a couple of ladies who were
11n:'their way in from the camp, took
teftige.,at the Porter's Hill store, where
hey Were hospitably sheltered till
morning. Others were not so fortu-
`nate; but being caught in the storm,
ef-e. drenched.
APtAdtEN11.A. TRIFLING. -On Stttur-
tO Chief ' Wheatley received a mes-
froitl Seaforth, to take charge of
isle and buggy that was being driv-
by a young woman, and was
rektiegted to place her under ar-
which he did. Shortly after-
s a"Seaforth constable came here
ok charge of both. The girl pro -
'Meet vigorously that she had
tithing for which she should be
and if there was no other
ti Tor her arrest than the one
by the constable, her detention
tile- shoat of an outrage. The
ble raid that when she hired the
told -the liveryman she wanted
Winthrop. and came to Clin-
teadt hence the charge against
tit the girl stated positively
o` hired the horse to come to
. to look after a situation, and
certainly secured a, situation
IN DELICATE HEALTH. -The wile of
James Keine, who has been in delicate
health for some time, underwent an
operation last week; she was found to
he suffering from a t unror, hut ber con-
dition was such that the medical men
did not deem il. advisable to remove
it, and we are exceedingly sorry to say
that she has not improved, and her
condition is such that it is causing her
frieds t be keenest auxiet y.
ACcInEN•rs.--The other day James
Dunford met with a painful accident.
While sitting on the front railing of
his waggon talking to a friend, an•
other waggon carne along and struck
his waggon behind, sending Dunford
backwards, heels over head, be falling
in such a way as to bruise himself
considerably.
While a son of Homer Andrews and
Norman, the youngest son of R. Fitz•
sirnons, were out at the slaughter
house, the rope of the windlass came
off, and in trying to replace it young
Andrews climbed up on the windlass,
when he fell to the floor, a distance of
about ten feet, ate iking on his shoulder,
which was sprained so severely that
he has since had to carry his arm in a
sling.
Lid. Rutledge, an employee at the
flax mill of the Perth Cordage and Flax
Uo.. Stratford, and formerly of Clin-
ton, was working on a thresher last
Thursday, when his right hand was
drawn into the machine, and the nail
of the first finger was torn off. The
accident will prevent his working for
several days.
The other day while Hugh Ross was
engaged shingling an outbuilding on
Mr Far ran's fat m, he fell off, a distance
of about 12 feet, falling on his right.
arrn, which was severely sprained; he
also ran a nail into his hand, which
has been exceedingly painful and sore
since.
SEEMINGLY IN HARD LINES. -Last
Saturday a man whose circumstances
certainly belied his name,Moneymaker,
came to the mayor and told a pitiful
story, which might or might not be
true in all its details, but as his cir-
cumstances bore it out, and he had not
the stamp of the genuine tramp, the
story was assumed to he true. It was
to the effect that while living near
Wiarton he was burned out, losing
everything he owned except the•clothes
that covered himself, a wife and four
year old boy. By the aid of a decrepit
old horse they started for Windsor,
where he had acquaintances,and hoped
to get work sailing, as this was his
former occupation. At Saugeen the
horse died, and they had to proceed as
hest they could, getting work and food
on the way to keep thetas from starving.
Reaching here they had put up a make-
shift tent near the London road bridge,
and were eking outan existence by the
aid of the charitable people of town.
They were exposed to the full fury of
Thursday night's storm, with nothing
between thetn and it but a thin cotton
covering. The mayor visited their
"home, 'and found matters fully as bad
as stated. They had only some straw
for bedding, and a piece of cotton was
their only bed quilt; to make matters
worse the woman was not in a condi-
tion to stand exposure. The man was
offered work carrying brick, but clairn-
ed he could not stand it, and certainly
did try to get other work, even offer-
ing to pay for food by work. Wednes-
day the mayor laid the case before the
council, and although there was no
obligation resting on this municipality
it was decided to send the couple for-
ward as the best way of disposing of
them, and they left that afternoon.
NOTES. -Some one has been kind
enough to send us it marked copy cf a
Philadelphia German paper, which ap•
parently contains a lot of news, but as
our• knowledge of German is very lim-
ited indeed, we cannot even surmise
what the paper is sent for. Mr Dewar,
of the Bell Telephone Cu., was around
town repairing telephones last Thurs-
day; he just got thews all in good shape
when the storm Of that night burned
out several. An old man named Mc-
Innes, who was carrying a pretty big
jag,was accommodated with a night's
loding in the Town Hall last week,
and released when sober enough to
look after himself. Robt. Marshall is
putting ate` ae founektttcsn beneath a
house on Princess St.,'owned by James
Flynn, and Sam Cooper will enlarge
and improve the place before Mr Flynn
moves into it. A telegram was re-
ceived here on Monday stating that
Peter Cole, who resides at Melvin,
Mich„ was at the point of death, with
no expectation of recovery; he is an old
pioneer of Goderich Township, being
the father of Peter Cole, and is a bro-
ther of Charles and William Cote; he
was for some years a respected resident
of Clinton, John Bloor, late of toe n,
is going to Toronto, where he expects
to take a situation; Mrs Bloor is at
Blyth. Sam. Cooper has a contract
.for the erection of a new house for
Fred Pickett, on the Huron road, east;
the foundation will be built by Hiram
Hill. A new doctor has come to glad-
den the home and enlarge the practice
of Dr. Shaw. The house vacated by J.
B. Hoover, on Victoria St., has been
rented by Dr. Bruce. The members of
the Lawn Bowling Club expect to play
KincardinelClub on the lawn here to-
day. A. Barlett has gone to Palmer -
son, where he bas taken a situation
in a carriage shop. Conductor Quirk
has resumed his run on the L. H. & B.
On Wednesday a special train was run
from Exeter to Goderidh with Sunday
School excursionists. Walter Irwin is
showing a mammoth radish grown in
his father's garden, which weighs over
three-quarters of a pound. Dave Can-
telon ships six cars of Duchess apples
this week, from vatiou'i points in the
county; Elliott & Mitchell are also ship-
ping; the price for fall fruit is 50c per
bbl, that offered for winter fruit is 31.
Mrs W. East is on the sick list, and has
been confined to her room for several
days; we hope to hear of her early re-
covery. Mrs Butt, sr., was to have
undergone an operation on Tuesday,
but it had to be postponed, as her con-
dition was unfavorable. The families
of R, Holmes and Mrs Boles, who have
been camping, returned to town this
week; Mr Swallow's family return emanyto-
enson's next week.
Th�friends and J. v
of Miss L. Acheson,
violinist, Goderich, will be pleased to
hear of her success at the Saengerfest
held at Berlin last week; the Berlin pa-
pers speak very highly of her as a vio-
linist; she will resume her class here
next month. Miss Hartt'e Kintergar-
ten school re -opened last week. W.
Wheatley has completed his contract
at Manchester bride, R. J. Cluff le
recovering from his recent runaway
accident, and is now able to he up. -
